Turns the DP3M into a macro lens, from 1:3 to 1:1.6.

Thanks Rob. I wouldn't have even thought of trying that but the results are genuinely impressive.

Yes. I've never really done macro work (not liking wee beasties very much!) but good to know it is a possibility.

Ahem, shurely shome mishtake? Should it not be
"Wee, sleekit, cow'rin, tim'rous beastie (s)"
I wish you would stop posting images from the Merrills. You would be doing my bank balance and my nether regions a great service!
Fantastic results on that link and what an excellent site. I have Marumi lens protectors on most of my cameras and have have never noticed them which speaks volumes for their optical quality.

Best time to buy one, Pat. And they are to be discontinued when the Quatro arrives.

I know, you know, both my Rottweilers know and even my cat knows. But the COS she say's NO.
It's not even a delicate 'No' with the rolling eyes, that even a thicky like me can interpret at a thousand paces as to really mean, " Oh go on then, you don't get much in life, treat yourself."
It's that sort of 'No' that precedes a very long spell on the Naughty Step.
I have crossed the Taliban and survived, but crossing the one I love is an altogether different ball game and one which...........will require phoning SRS or Clifton from inside a box inside my workshop after bribing my neighbour to accept a parcel wrapped in brown paper marked "For the Coward of the County Only".

COS - Chief of Supplies?
Round here we often use SWMBO - she who must be obeyed.
The end result is the same!

Chief of Staff. But the end result, like you say, is much the same.
There are reputedly three things that can be seen from Outer Space;
The Great Wall of China, the gap on early Range Rover doors and the Big Yellow Stripe that runs north to south on my back.
